Godley and Creme - Cry 

Here in 2024. Just making sure this song is still timeless. It IS

If you’re still listening to this in 2023 you’re an absolute legend!!

Will never forget this song in Miami Vice......Perfect.

With each passing year I miss the 80s more.

1985: still amazing after all these years. The video was far ahead of its time, and Godley and Creme, with Trevor Horn producing, made a record that still stands the test of time.

Man, Miami Vice knew how to pick the best songs.

What a unique and mesmerizing song. Absolutely amazing. I was 12 when this came out (first heard it on Miami Vice), I’m almost 50 now. Time flies.

I miss those days. It makes me want to cry.

I remember driving on a gray, rainy summer day and this song came on, almost perfectly to the rhythm of the windshield wipers. I've never forgotten that.

Outro + driving around liberty at night = 🥲

In 1985, this was cutting edge video technology, very innovative for it's time

One of the jewels of the 80's.

Rocks my soul for better or for worse. My late wife passed in December, but her cognition faltered so fast, we never had that moment to acknowledge the end. This song says it all…

Miami Vice still had the best sound track of any program still today!!!!

Brings back happy memories. I remember in the 80's when I would go over to my girlfriend's house after work on Fridays. We would snuggle on the couch and watch Miami Vice. This is one of the songs they played. Time marches on...we later got married and Miami Vice was canceled. Jump ahead 3 kids and 22 years later and she left me for a doctor. I sure do miss Miami Vice...makes me want to cry!

This is one of the most underrated songs and music videos in history. The music is perfect, the lyrics are simple and make the point without being too wordy. A gem of simplicity. The music, the mix, wow, really, every time I hear it I get goosebumps!!! And as for the video, is just a masterpiece, it is an amazing piece of art, you have that the technology to morph didn't exist at the time, these are simple and basic wipe effects done with video that was capture on "tape". That's right, the material no matter how good the camera, and lenses were was put into a tape, no digital stuff. It is just amazing, thaks Goodley and Creme!!!!

One of the most powerful songs ever written, and probably the most moving video ever filmed.

This song never gets old !!! 💞💗🔥💥💫

This song is haunting. I miss the 80s so much....

Cry and I’m not in love, two of the most iconic, interesting ballads ever made.

One of the most unforgettable music videos ever. The years have taken nothing away from it.

The members of 10cc will be remembered for a lot of the music they made. But I wonder if 'I'm Not In Love' and 'Cry' are the most significant. The production, writing, sound and emotional impact of both songs are all top tier.

I had forgotten about this song! I was on a long drive home and was listening to one of my favorite channels on Sirius: 80's. This tune came on, and the wave of bittersweet memories of childhood, love, and addiction to music had rushed through me. The experience brought back to a fleeting state of mind with no worries. I'm so glad that I was reunited with this tune!

I tell my Daughters all the time they have no clue How Great the eighties were.....

Finally! Found the "Original, Classic Video." THANK YOU!🤗👊

From a time when MTV played music videos and Music Was Awesome.

I remember watching this on Friday Night videos after it has been on Miami Vice. The 80s were full of good times. I was only 10 in 1985, but I remember all the 80s very well. I am now a God on a synthesizer thanks to videos like this one and many others.

If you ever had a broken heart watch this. You're not the only one who feels pain. It means you are human. This is why it is so horrible for humans to compete with one another. It leads to a deadening of compassion. Thank you Godley & Creme.

I had to play this song back to back, absolute classic .here in 2024 !

This is one of those haunting songs that puts you in a particular time and place, even if you were never actually there before. 10/10

You can tell that some of these people were singing their hearts out. As one should when singing to this masterpiece. 🎤

“The more personal you make your art, the more universal it becomes.”

Still awesome in 2024. A timeless classic.

My daughter just heard this song in a grocery store in Carnation, WASHINGTON !!!!!! She called to tell me , but I couldn't find it on RU-vid , so between her and her husband they got "Godley& Creme-cry . I just watched it 6 times .GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven’t heard this song in 37 years…Man I’m old

GTA 4 had a great taste in music with their in-game radio station. Before a mission I would sit in the car and let the song finish. Then I'd start playing again.

I was listening to XM 80s Driving when I heard this song. My jaw dropped. I Loved this song. I scrambled to see the title so I could play it over and over again. I loved the 80s. Merry Christmas.

A very high impactful emotional song ever produced ...Thank you Godley and Creme.

LYRICS: You don't know how to ease my pain You don't know You don't know how to ease my pain You don't know what the sound is darlin' It's the sound of my tears falling Or is it the rain? You don't know You don't know how to play the game And you cheat, you lie You make me want to cry You make me want to cry Cry You make me want to cry You don't know how to ease my pain, you don't know You don't know how to ease my pain Don't you hear any voices crying? That's the sound of our love dying Here comes the rain You don't know how to play the game And you cheat, you lie You don't even know how to say goodbye You make me want to cry You don't know You don't even know how to say goodbye You make me want to cry You don't even know how to say goodbye You make me want to cry Cry Cry Cry Cry

Butt-Head: He's faking it. Beavis: Yeah he's not really taking a dump

STARCK CLUB MUSIC, This video is fantastic! I liked it a lot!

Incredibly simple but profound and powerful. I get chills with this video.

Decided to watch some old Miami Vice episodes and this song came up. Beautifully haunting...just like the femme fatal in the last scene.

I am 70 years old. I was blessed with music that now is as fresh as the day i first heard it. Probably more so. ❤

First time I heard this in July of 1985 cruising around in my friends K Car Wagon late at night in NJ . Then back when MTV actually played music videos I saw this video and frankly for the time period it looks way ahead of its time

I never heard this, until today. March 22, 2022 It has quickly moved onto my favorites list. . Cry happens to be my Word of the Day. 💔🤭💔😏💔🙂

80's Memory Triggered.. Sitting around any one of our parents living room after school watching this on MTV with a group of friends before Mom and Dad got home from work 😊 Latchkey kids!!

This song is 80s/Miami vice all in one. Mannnnn, build a time machine someone please!!!

MTV was so much fun and exciting back in 84-85-86 you couldnt wait for the new weird videos to come out📺📡🎶

A song for 2024.

Miami Vice kid....80s hurts so good music🌹🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

another 80's great song amazing stil exist

Many (including VH1's "Pop-Up Video") wrongly believe this brilliant video to be an early example of computer morphing, but the effects are achieved solely with skillful use of traditional lap dissolves and optical wipes.

Take me back to a great time where friends and family were fully together. And to tell our happiness and triumphs, and to despair without telling a cell phone or doing a web search

This song is just magic

This song always brings me back to a rainy night in 1986 driving around San Francisco in the very early am after having just broken up with my girlfriend. She was bipolar and just too much for me. Still feels horrible to this day. Having said that,I love the song it’s beautiful genius.

i haven't heard this song in SO long. I love it!

One of the best Songs 👍👍👍👍 Bring back the 80's

I'm never gonna see what the 80s were like but only the music is left behind for me to feel what it was like 💯

I'm stunned every time I hear this song...such talent

This song is addictive. That voice on those high notes is awesome. I quote Norm, from the TV show, Cheers, as it pertains to the reason he is crying. "Women, cant live with them......pass the beer nuts"

Another great Trevor Horn production.

The first time I heard this was on Miami Vice. Episode was " Definitely Miami". I'll never forget this song.

There is no song that can come close to this it's so unique and special

Excellent song. Reminds me of many times during my teens in the ‘80’s. 😊😢

Thank you. Finally the original video☺

Hauntingly beautiful ❤️

I heard this on Miami Vice when I was a kid and I’ve never forgotten it.

This song is a monument. Simple, effective, dramatic yet restrained, minimal yet so grandiose and brimming with presence, emotionally evocative, flawlessly produced and recorded. Just a statuesque recording that towers over so many of their peers. Not only the best single of the 80s but surely one of the greatest of all time. Lightning in a bottle kind of record that could come out today and still sound timeless. I’m always so struck by the sense of physical space and atmosphere that bassline portrays. It’s huge.

I’ve been waiting years on this. Every other video that was uploaded was cut all to pieces or blocked because of copyright infringement. I would check back from time to time to see if the original video was posted. Excellent. Thank you

The power of song to take you back to a special place and time...The fall of 1985, senior year of high school, all the friends I made that year and all the memories of a carefree youth...I miss it so much it really does make me wanna cry!😢

I had forgotten this song existed. So glad I stumbled on it again.

MIAMI VICE ANYONE?🤔

The year 1985 brought me here. Since I was their and this is apart of it and the 80s are a part of me No matter where I go their I am.

Was there in '89, house sitting in Stony Brook and this came on MTV. I was alone and had no one to share it with 😭

Another somg that reminds me of my gorgeous godsend mother. Currently leaking tears cause of the memories of road trips

No one should have been surprised by the creative genius of Godley and Creme. They directed the video for Sting's song Every Breath You Take.

Lmfao Trevor Horn at the end there. Love these guys!

One of the most beautiful and deeply romantic songs ever written. The production on this song is genius.

“Sonny, there are beaches whiter than this. So white they hurt your eyes. So clean, so pure. I’ll take you there.”

It's a very moving and powerful video

This Has been a Timeless Favorite sience GTA 4 First song on LRR Station.. ❤️ back in 2012

One of the best songs ever!

Iconic song and video. When produced it was considered well ahead of its time. Loved this song. Used famously in a Don Johnson/Miami Vice video.

I remember when Beavis and Butthead dissed this video.

I loved this song in the 80’s but they seldom played it. It isn’t till recently that I found it. Great song!

Fn love this song! was a freshman in high school when this was shown on MTV fun times 😎

I remember this from years ago. Was always ahead of its time. Still great today 2022.

Absolutely timeless and beautiful song. And I love that Trevor Horn has a spot at the very end. I was 12 or so when I first saw this, although it's the 10CC song "I'm not in Love" that brings me back to this treasure.

That guy had a voice. Their old band 10cc was great, and this was early MTV video gold.

Still listening to Godley and Creme, 30 years on. I'll never stop.

Wow I haven't heard this song in 40 years, completely forgot about this one!

Love, love, love this video. It was so simple but so mesmerizing back in the early days of music videos.

I remember this video on MTV back in '85. There were faces within faces.

Don't remember caring for this song when it came out on the radio. But now I love it. Guess its part of getting older...

G&C captured lightning in a bottle with this song. 1985: MUCH better time. MUCH better music. It still holds up today. And those vocals are banging. #WORD

This song always evokes the feeling of coming down out of the Rockies to my home prairie lands after two weeks on the road selling - heading HOME!!

Definitely one of my favorites. Brilliant and powerful 👏

After all this time, it's still gets to my soul! I was 18 when I heard this on the show Mimia Vice, I'm 53 now!

I'm from the MTV generation. We were fortunate to witness MTV change music history. For me, there was one video that stood above the rest, Godley and Creme, Cry. On MTV, everything was moving, moving very fast. From Michael Jackson's, Thriller, to Peter Gabriel's, Sledge Hammer, to Madonna grabbing her crotch in, Express Yourself, sometimes I would get a headache turn the TV off. Too much visual noise. When I first saw, Cry, I froze. I could not move. I was speechless. It was melancholy and slow and the morphing of faces was something never seen before, literally. It was revolutionary. It was a full five years after Cry that Sinead O'Connor hit hard with her similar, Nothing Compares to You. Unfortunately, things that are bombastic and make the loudest noise are the most remembered and Cry's focused, inward look at sadness and loss is mostly forgotten. Also, the digitized video you see on RU-vid and elsewhere is only a facsimile of what this video was like on a CRT TV back in 1985. The blacks were deep. The greys were silvery. Here, the highlights are blown out. Also, the transitions were seamless and smooth like butter, and don't discount the quality of audio in 1985. Many people had their TVs hooked up to kick-ass stereos. Godley and Creme's Cry was powerful. Like every other MTV video and many great films and TV shows of the past, this video proved to be ephemeral. What we see here is a ghost of what was. Still, I bow.
